Auricular acupuncture (or ear acupuncture) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine modality that has been practiced for more than 2500 years. It consists of inserting acupuncture needles in certain points on the (outer) ear to treat diseases or conditions.

Auricular acupuncture does not hurt, and can actually bring on a relaxed sensationdramatically reducing stress and alleviating many ailments and conditions.

As you can see on the diagram on the right, the shape of the ear resembles an inverted fetus in the mother’s womb. Chinese Acupuncture points on the ears have a similar relation to the various anatomical areas of the fetus.

There are about two hundred acupuncture points on the outer ear, and each point is generally named after areas of our anatomy.

The (outer) ear acts like a circuit board to our brain. Each acupoint triggers electrical impulses from the ear, via the brain, to the specific areas of the body. Therefore if someone has a painful low back, for example, treating the ‘sciatic’ acupoint on the ear, would help alleviate the pain.

Auricular acupuncture is also widely used for treating addictions with drugs, smoking, alcohol and over eating, and has been found to be a natural and effective modality in the treatment of depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, irritability, anorexia and weight loss. It has even shown to be effective in reducing violent tendencies.

The treatment consists of 4 or 5 small, sterile, disposable acupuncture needles inserted in each ear into the specific acupoints that aid in the detoxification process. Patients are asked to sit or lay down quietly and relax for about 45 minutes to let the acupuncture do its work.

Most patients say the needles tingle or feel warm, but all agree that they don’t hurt and that the treatments are relaxing and comfortable. I may provide herbal tea for added relaxation and I am always available to answer questions you may have.

There are also other ear therapies where I use tiny ear tacks, therapeutic seeds, or stainless steel balls plated with silver, gold, platinum, or none at all. Magnetized balls may also be used to treat specific ailments or complaints.

They are positioned on precise therapeutic areas of the outer ear, and secured with small sections of sterile clear or surgical tape. Normally these other auricular therapies are implemented as part of integrated take-home treatments.
